However, the West, according to him, is thinking about something else and is working on options for such agreements that do not satisfy either the interests of Moscow or the interests of kyiv.
And if Ukraine’s primary goal is to “restore the country’s territorial integrity,” then that’s a far off prospect, as key allies fear unnecessary “costs and risks” in providing military assistance to Kiev. And this is, first of all, the United States and Germany, writes RIA Novosti.
The publication recalls that Moscow has repeatedly declared its readiness to negotiate, but kyiv adopted a special law that prohibits all kinds of negotiations. Despite this, the West persists in urging Russia to negotiate, ignoring Ukraine’s refusal to negotiate.
